The information of screen data displayed on a screen is acquired, and the active screen data is captured when determined that the active screen data is from application software to be captured based on the information of the screen data. In the capture processing step, an image data of a current active screen is presumptively configured so as to include a last active screen retrieved immediately before said current active screen that is positioned in a screen region other than said current active screen. A pixel difference between a pixel date of a current full-screen region and a pixel date of a last full-screen region is taken, and the pixel difference data as said active screen data is retrieved.

Abstract: A viewer method and a viewer device capable of more rapidly reproducing desired screen data are provided. An input of character string is accepted in an input accepting unit, a title name saved in a screen data saving section is searched based on the input character string, and an instruction is made to a reproduction unit to jump to and reproduce arbitrary screen data based on the search result. Therefore, the desired screen data can be more rapidly reproduced by inputting a character string corresponding to the desired screen data.

Abstract: A viewer method and a viewer device are capable of more rapidly reproducing desired screen data. A jump processing unit instructs a reproduction unit to jump to and reproduce arbitrary screen data based on difference data between sequentially retrieved screen data. The screen data a user desires to check is often screen data of when the difference data is large, that is, screen data of when the amount of change in the retrieved screen data is large such as when an error has occurred. Thus, the desired screen data can be more rapidly reproduced by jumping to and reproducing the screen data based on the difference data.
